Earth is slowly dying due to global warming and human destruction of the ecosystem, but this wasn't always the case. Over 200 years ago, humans weren't as destructive as they are right now, and at least they had the sense to preserve nature. There were thousands of animal and plant species that made the earth beautiful.
 
Events in the book Coming Full Circle begin in the 1800s, when we meet Thaddeus Adams, a boy who falls in love with nature at a tender age. He grows up living in the forest, and nature becomes his friend. Through this, he learns an important lesson, which is the circle of life. His love for nature is a blessing that is carried over to future generations because they too love nature and frontline the battle of preserving the climate and ecosystem. We traverse through history and meet Adams's future generations, such as Caleb, Harrison, Aurora, Camilla, Abbey, Shiloh, and Sunny, among others. They all have one thing in common, and that is the desire to preserve the ecosystem and climate, therefore continuing the circle of life. To find out more, please get a copy of the book Coming Full Circle by Budd Titlow and Mariah Tinger.
 
There are several things I liked while reading this book. I liked the authors attention to detail and how they were able to connect people of nearly five generations in the same book. The first character, Thaddeus Adams, is introduced in the 1800s, and the last characters are Shiloh and Sunny, with their families and even grandchildren in the year 2050. That is over 200 years of information explained in just one book. What's more unique is that they are off the same bloodline, and preserving the ecosystem is just rooted deep within them.
 
I also commend the authors for writing about very sensitive topics that indeed need everyone's attention, namely, saving the earth from global worming, preserving the ecosystem, and saving animals from extinction. There are many people in the book who have been trying their best to get this message out there, the most prominent being Sunny and Shiloh, who have made it through global borders and even ensured that energy-making companies start producing renewable energy and stop mining fossil fuels, which greatly cause harm to the ecosystem and climate. This is a huge step towards preserving the circle of life, and I admire them for that.
 
The only thing I didn't like is that a family tree wasn't provided by the authors to help easily track the Thaddeus Adams family and their future generations. This, however, didn't affect my enjoyment of the book, so I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The editing of this book was incredibly well done, since I discovered no errors while reading it. I recommend this book to lovers of history because it is an account of history about the battle to conserve nature and save animals.

Hey there, Vermonter here! I just read this insightful review of "Coming Full Circle" and I must say, it sounds like an amazing read! The authors did a fantastic job connecting characters from different generations, spanning over 200 years. I love how they tackle important issues like climate change, ecosystem preservation, and endangered species. It's great to see how the characters, especially Sunny and Shiloh, actively work towards solving these problems. The lack of a family tree might be a bit confusing, but overall, it seems like a solid 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend this book to history lovers and anyone interested in saving our planet. Intriguing mystery, kept me guessing until the end.

This book, "Coming Full Circle" by Budd Titlow and Mariah Tinger, seems like a fantastic read based on the review. The authors' attention to detail and ability to connect multiple generations in the same book is commendable. The book tackles important issues like climate change and the preservation of the ecosystem, making it an engaging and relevant read. Although a family tree would have been helpful, it doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the book. I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars. Definitely worth reading for history lovers and anyone concerned about the future of our planet. Captivating pacing, kept the story moving briskly.
